In Greece there are the ruins(废墟) of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public ba
24、ths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time. Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700s has also become popular in the United States. For many years frequent(经常的) bathing wa
25、s believed to be bad for ones health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1700s, doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe
26、 more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common. In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , fo
27、r example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law! Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United
28、States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.51. A water system for baths was built by _ over 3,000 years ago.

Taking baths has become popular in the world. D. Bathing has become easier and cheaper.( B )Overhead bridges are found in
31、 many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less
32、 convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has b
33、uilt many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the r
34、oad. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them.
35、 This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.56. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage? A. Taller trucks can pass under them. B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city. C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same
36、time. D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.57. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing? A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up. B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road. C. Because they save money for the government. D. Because they s
37、ave time for the pedestrians.58. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing. B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing. C. Overhead bridges can allow cars to pass on them. D. Overhead bridges are found
38、in places where traffic is heavy.59. The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean _. A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road B. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its body C. a safe place across a road for
39、 zebras to walk across the road D. a safe place across a road for children to play a game60. What is the writers attitude towards overhead bridges? A.

40、 difficult. C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing. D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.( C )A. New shopping places neededB.

41、ls in large shopping centersF. The best way to shop in downtown area. 61. _ In the past, a citys main shopping place was in its downtown area. People could get downtown easier than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1920s, the best way to travel in a city was on a streetcar, a sub
42、way , a railroad , or an elevated train. All these ran on tracks that led downtown.62. _ As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed other places to shop. More people were driving cars, and they needed a place they could drive quickly. Driving downtown was difficult.
43、 Finding a parking space downtown was sometimes impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.63. _ To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs ,groups of business moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers.64. _ Modern and w
44、ell-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shopper can do all his shopping in one place.65. _ The very large shopping centers have malls which mak
45、e shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can walk from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues and plants.
